We never eat in the buffet for this very reason. Extremely high risk of germ cross contamination. However, if it’s not self serve, then I would possibly reconsider.
The Elite section is much nicer and has all the shade. The other side is fine as long as you get a cabana. We love the Sanctuary on other ships, but this one not so much.
No, no, no! You are very kind, but there are many members here who teach me something new every single day. They’ve forgotten more than I ever knew. They are experts when it comes to cruising and I salute them. You’ll get to know them and appreciate them as much as I do. We need members just like you! Eager to learn and share their knowledge. We all win!
Prices used to be $40.00 per person for full day. Looks like that’s up to $50.00. The full week price has always been $30.00 per person per day. Wonder what that price is now?
I’m always looking forward to hearing about new ships, especially a new class. I remember when we were all waiting with bated breath for Royal Princess. I was so excited to sail on her in her inaugural year. However, Sphere class is over the charts!
What? Was the upgrade a real disappointment for her? Good news is the ship actually sailed, but not good news if you’re looking forward to the cabin you chose. Tell her to let it go and just have a fabulous cruise, as I’m sure she will. Love to hear her thoughts!
I think a lot of us have had this experience over the years. My CVP always marks our booking with no upgrades, but it did happen once on Royal Princess. She took over and by the end of the day we had our cabin back. I can’t image trying to get a resolution without someone at Princess intervening on our behalf.
I’m quite sure that different members will be posting at different times. I believe a couple are going to be presenting a “live from”. We’ll also hear from people who prefer to wait til they get home and prepare a full review.
We won’t really know until tomorrow and the following days. I’m really looking forward to reading all of it!
I think the service is significantly elevated in Reserve Class. You are paying a premium for it and you should receive the best. Also, it works for you and I respect that. It’s all about choice and what works for each of us.
